Here is another example of the Gnostic faction at work. They have
retained the greeting from God the Father but they have omitted the greeting
from the Lord Jesus Christ. The omitted part would make this greeting a
direct greeting to all the believers down through history, not only the
Colossians. This omission would play perfectly into the beliefs of the New
Age and false religions. The majority of the world’s false religions teach a
fatherhood of God but, of course, reject the Lord Jesus Christ, by whom is
the only way of salvation. The fatherhood of God belief keeps people, that
are in false religions, believing that they are on the correct path to
heaven when in reality they are on the correct path to hell.

Back around June 2007, three brave Christians were removed and arrested from the U.S.
Senate because a Hindu opened up the session with a prayer to his false
gods. What really is so sad about this is that many have commented on this
and it seems more Christians would rather stand with the Hindu than with the
Christians who brought truth to the Satan worshipping Senate of our country.
It seems that the modern versions have done their job because no longer do
we have “Thus saith the Lord.” Instead we have “thus says any god we
prefer.” Woe unto us!

As we continue to forget about the Lord Jesus Christ in this country and
many Christians are doing just that, we are already seeing a gradual
forsaking of this country by God and this forsaking will continue to
escalate until we finally become a third world, false god worshipping
country. See you all in prison, especially if the hate crimes legislation
passed last week.
